Religious heritage gets a weekend
I was passed a link to the Journées du patrimoine religieux event, not this weekend but next. There are definitely some church buildings worth a look, if you’re interested in this sort of thing, but I think the only non-Christian open house is a Hindu temple. I didn’t even know there was one in DDO.

I think DDO has a higher percentage of immigrants from India than most of the rest of Montreal.

I vaguely recall that map a few years back showing most popular 3rd languages in Montreal and around DDO it’s Bengali. Makes sense.
There’s a ton of Indians around Parc Ex but there’s a lot of other southeast Asians in the area too so I guess it dilutes the pool somewhat. lots of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans etc.

Aren’t there several Hindu temples in DDO? There’s a Tamil one with a gopuram (maybe the congregants are Sri Lankan?) on St-Regis that can be seen from the 40 that’s very much worth swinging by to check out up close if you have a few minutes.
